The thunderclap in the sky left Lu Yuan completely stunned, and he subconsciously touched his body.
Fortunately, the parts were intact and without any damage. Looking up again, I saw that the already shaky cooling tower finally succumbed to the damage from the lightning strike, and the shaking became even more intense.
With a loud "boom," the cooling tower collapsed on the spot, splashing water everywhere. The already fragile cooling tower crashed heavily to the ground, leaving a huge gap in its surface.
Lu Yuan quickly walked over, and a sudden blast of cold air wafted out, making Lu Yuan shiver.
However, the torrential rain quickly extinguished the coolness, or rather, made it hot. After testing it with his hand, he found it to be perfectly acceptable. Lu Yuan took out a flashlight and shone it into the tower.
A splashing sound came from inside, and a puddle of water flowed out from the bottom of the tower, along with a white stone.
Lu Yuan went up and grabbed the stone in his hand. This was the upgrade stone, and it was exactly the same shape as the crystal in his hand, except that this stone was completely white.
Having obtained the upgrade crystal he had been longing for, Lu Yuan happily climbed over the wall and left the chemical plant again. However, he no longer cared much about cameras or anything like that, since he was wearing a raincoat with a semi-transparent plastic cover over his face, making it impossible to see his face from the outside.
Along the way, they passed several neighboring houses, all of whom were digging holes. Some of the more capable neighbors had even dug rat holes in front of their own houses, one here and one there. Lu Yuan was worried that someone might fall into a hole if they weren't paying attention.
Back home, because of the heavy rain, no one in the family went out. When Lu Yuan returned, his grandmother quickly went up to him, grabbed his hand, and asked, "Yuan! Where have you been? Did you fall into a pit? Why are you so wet?"
As Lu Yuan took off his raincoat, he said with a smile, "It's okay, Grandma, it's just raining. It's been a long time since I've seen rain. Everyone goes out for a walk in the rain!"
"Oh! You can't do that, you'll catch a cold!" Grandma said as she handed Lu Yuan a dry towel.
After drying his hair and changing his shoes, Lu Yuan went to the bathroom to take a shower. Although his physical strength had greatly increased and his immunity had become extremely strong after eating the golden fruit, he was still worried that he might catch a cold from the shower.
Lu Yuan took out his spatial crystal again, placed it in his palm, silently recited a mantra, and then disappeared from the room.
There is now a plot of land of 120 square meters. On it, Lu Yuanzhong has planted common vegetables such as eggplant, cucumber, potato, and tomato, as well as many fruit trees such as apple, peach, cherry, and pear.
However, since the fruit trees require a lot of space to grow, Lu Yuan will prune them regularly to prevent them from fighting for territory. The sheep raised on the grassland recently gave birth to calves. Now Lu Yuan owns more than 30 pigs, 7 sheep, 2 cows, and 1 donkey. As for why he has a donkey, we have to go back to Xiao Shan to find out.
A month ago, Xiaoshan's colleagues said that they hadn't had a get-together in a long time, but the weather wasn't suitable for it either, and 99% of the restaurants outside were closed, so everyone had nowhere to go.
After that, the people at Xiaoshan's company thought about pooling their resources to make some food. Then, one of the colleagues made some donkey meat sandwiches. After everyone finished eating, they felt very satisfied. Later, Xiaoshan mentioned to her a few times who Lu Yuan was. He was the kind of man who doted on his wife to the core.
Since his wife wanted to eat donkey meat sandwiches, they had to have a donkey. So Lu Yuan drove to the countryside and searched for a long time before finally buying a sick donkey. According to the donkey's owner, the donkey had become like this because it was too hot and it couldn't eat all day.
When Lu Yuan brought him back, he weighed less than 100 pounds and was skin and bones all over his body, which made Lu Yuan feel a little sorry for him.
In the end, Lu Yuan bought the donkey with 30 liters of water and 5,000 yuan.
Besides these livestock, there was no shortage of poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese. Lu Yuan would occasionally take some out of his space and put them back at home.
Grandma always felt something was wrong after killing chickens and ducks, to which Lu Yuan replied that it must be that Grandma's eyes were playing tricks on her.
He dug soil under the seedling again, then took out a white crystal from his pocket and put it inside.
Then another burst of bright light struck. When Lu Yuan opened his eyes again, the scene he saw was the same as before, except that the golden fruit that was almost ripe had now fully ripened.
"This must be another increase in growth rate! Fantastic!"
To verify the growth rate of the plants, Lu Yuan specifically found an unopened package of mushrooms and planted it in the ground.
Sure enough, the growth rate of the mushrooms was so fast that it was visible to the naked eye. In no time, the mushrooms had already sprouted from the soil, and then the small caps slowly grew out and finally opened up.
Lu Yuan recorded the entire process, which was basically completed in less than an hour, doubling the growth rate compared to before.
"Does this mean we don't have to exploit bugs anymore?" Lu Yuan suddenly thought of a rather disgusting topic that had been circulating recently and pondered it to himself.
...
The heavy rain lasted longer than people imagined. Before, everyone was happy, thinking that the rain would solve their problems. However, the continuous heavy rain lasted for half a month, and some low-lying residential areas had become rivers.
Several families whose homes were destroyed in the fire moved into temporary housing provided by the government. Although the government kept saying it would build new houses for them, no one ever asked about it, so dozens of them have been living in temporary housing ever since.
However, the heavy rain destroyed their home. The prefabricated house became a floating house, drifting downstream with the water. Fortunately, with the help of people nearby, it was not washed away, but the furniture and appliances were all washed away.
Not only the refugees, but also other residents in low-lying areas who did not live in temporary housing suffered from the disaster. It was raining heavily outside, and it was drizzling inside their rooms. They had to stand on the table legs to eat because the water was too deep, and the table might float away if they didn't. All kinds of wooden furniture were scattered everywhere, and the residents' lives were getting worse day by day.
There is plenty of water; everyone is now hoping that the torrential rain will stop.
Finally, after 20 days of torrential rain, the rain stopped, much to everyone's delight.
